What is Senior Weekend?

For Senior Weekend Attendees:

If you are at this website, that would mean that you were sent the Senior Weekend RSVP form on your UC Berkeley MAP portal, so you are already a step in the right direction! Now all you have to do is choose the Recruitment and Retention Center that you identify with and RSVP for their programming. 

The bridges community is so excited to see y'all and deliver an unforgettable experience with this years Senior Weekend!

For Current Pilipinx Community:

If you are a current Pilipinx Community Member, all the ways you can be involved can be found in the homepage!

With this event being an all-expenses paid event, attendees will be able to choose from a list of the different modes of transportation we offer for areas all around California. 

We will have round trip flights coming from Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County, Ontario, and even Burbank. In addition to flights, we will offer bus rides to and from Los Angeles and Central Coast. We also accommodate those who reside in the Central Valley and Sacramento with Amtrak train tickets. And lastly, if attendees are within driving distance to UC Berkeley, we also have a Self-transport option.

At Senior Weekend attendees can expect to be immersed at UC Berkeley and truly see how it would be like being a UC Berkeley Golden Bear!

Along with experiencing the Berkeley campus, as PASS specific attendees, you will get to also immerse yourself within our Pilipinx Community. For this weekend, if selected, attendees will have the opportunity to get a Mxntor (Kapatid/Kuya/Ate) and a Pamilya (Family in tagalog), these folx will be one of the many guides throughout the weekend, attendees can ask them about their own experiences as student at UC Berkeley, but also how the Pilipinx Community is like at the campus!  In addition, PASS has so many fun and enriching workshops, events and programs in store for you all to experience and enjoy.

This experience is specialized to ensure all attendees are able to make the most informed decision when it comes to figuring out which college to attend/what to do after high school. 

**There is no need to SIR to UC Berkeley to RSVP for Senior Weekend. But if you are invited to this event, and you have already accepted another schools offer, please be mindful that this event is for those who have yet to have make that decision. Though not all RSVP's will get selected to attend Senior Weekend, we hope that if you choose to RSVP you are someone who is still figuring out which school you want to attend**

To get the full college experience, we will be having all newly admitted students stay over at current students' dorms, apartments, etc.

We, of course, as an organization will ensure that those who are housing these students will receive proper training in how to act appropriately around minors and accommodate housing preferences. In addition, this enhances the experience even more since the students get to really see how current UC Berkeley students reside within the university.

**If you are selected to attend Senior Weekend, please make sure to bring a sleeping bag and pillow(s) and blanket(s).**
